in april 2008, john mccain laid out his health care plan. at its core was a major change to the way we tax health care. right now employers don't pay a dime of taxes on health care benefits. this tax break is fundamentally the foundation of our entire health care system. it's why so many of us get health care through our employers. a lot of people, myself included, think it is a cracked bad foundation, in fact. mccain proposed to eliminate it and replace it with a $2,500 tax credit for individuals and for families irrespective of employment status. he got killed. independent experts noted the plan would make health care more expensive for employers which would make them likely to drop health care coverage for employees. it was the obama campaign that made mccain pay. they attacked it as, wait for it, a tax increase. >> john mccain talks about a $5,000 tax credit for health care, but here's what he's not telling you. mccain would make you pay income tax on your health insurance benefits. taxing health benefits for the first time ever. and tha
